Why homes use CCTV cameras
Use recorded video to review deliveries, check arrivals and see what happened around the property.
Give the front door a useful angle
Position a camera to capture people approaching the door at a useful angle, with enough light for a clear view. A high overview camera is also useful for showing how someone entered or left.
Plan to retrieve footage
Work out who can log in, how long clips should be kept and how to export a test recording. Check live view and playback on each authorised user's device.
Work backwards from a delivery dispute
Ask whether you need to see the courier approach, read the parcel label or see where it was left. A single wide view may show the approach and miss detail under the porch. Review a recorded delivery or staging test, then check whether the clip can be exported with the correct timestamp.
